1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe impact of outpatient clinics on emergency health care has not yet been analyzed satisfactorily. This study aims to determine the importance of the Jena University Outpatient ENT Clinic in emergency health care.

methodsIn a retrospective study, all 1,884 emergency cases from 2008 were gathered and analyzed.

resultsThe patients' average age was 38.2 years; half of them were female. A total of 1,379 patients (73%) went to the outpatient clinic without having previously consulted another doctor, and more than half of the emergency treatments took place on weekends or public holidays. Seven hundred nineteen patients (38%) had medical diagnoses indicating the need for emergency treatment. DISCUSSION: The University of Jena's Emergency Department ENT Clinic provides much more than just emergency health care. As only 38% of the cases analyzed were emergencies, the ENT Clinic complements outpatient health care outside business hours.
